As usual, summer means exhibitions.  In June, the Camosun College Fine Furniture Program Graduate Exhibition was held in Collective Works Art Gallery.  Artists, belonging to the Collective, augmented the furniture with wall art.  I created the two pieces above specifically for the show, embracing the old and the new in chair design.  In particular, the chairs that I owned.  "So Much Transpired" showcased my grandma-in-law's antic Chippendale armchair.  When I named the piece, I was thinking of the conversations that transpired while sitting on that chair.  This chair has been around the world twice, accompanying us as we lived in different continents.  As for the modern chair in our dining room, because it is new, I named it after its potential.  In case you have noticed the unusually short legs; yes, I took the liberty of shortening the legs for aesthetic reasons--as a result, redesigning it.  "So Much Potential" for manipulation!

In July, the Moss Street Paint-In offered me the chance to meet new art enthusiasts, demonstrate some of my painting techniques, and catch up with friends and regulars to the event.  The Paint-In is organized by the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, which is also showing a Small Art exhibit in the Rental Department.  This show offers original artworks by local artists in the price range of $200 - $400!  I have four pieces there--check them out before the summer is over.  

Meanwhile, I am creating a body of work for two upcoming solos that will have paintings as large as 48" x 48".  Here is a sneak peak at a not-quite-so-large painting.  More news in the next issue!
